Dining Services
At Elizabethtown College, we hold a firm belief that exceptional dining is a cornerstone of a comprehensive education. With this philosophy in mind, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting dining experiences that are not just superior in quality but truly memorable.
Elizabethtown College offers a dining experience tailored to suit every need and preference. With a broad selection of meal plan options at their fingertips, students can find the perfect match for their individual schedules, dietary requirements, and tastes. Jay Bucks, our on-campus dining currency, simplifies eating on campus for students, faculty, and staff alike, enabling seamless, cashless purchases across dining locations outside (and inside if needed) of our main dining hall. For campus visitors and guests looking to enjoy a taste of Etown, the option to buy single meals or items on the spot at all dining venues is available by paying with credit card.
In addition, our in-house Catering Team provides services for special campus events, weddings, conferences, coffee breaks & much more!
